Subject: [PATCH] arch/powerpc/crypto/crc-vpmsum_test: Use cheaper random numbers for self-test
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 10:42:22 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201903211042.x2LAgMp3003053@sdf.org> (raw)
This code was filling a 64K buffer from /dev/urandom in order to
compute a CRC over (on average half of) it by two different methods,
comparing the CRCs, and repeating.
This is not a remotely security-critical application, so use the far
faster and cheaper prandom_u32() generator.
And, while we're at it, only fill as much of the buffer as we plan to use.
